I am trying to automate uploading of images.
When I upload an image in the browser and look at the network tab I see te following in request body:
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3c
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="uploadId"
0:0:48deedc5937d0:1009c3
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="mtype"
1000
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="extensions"
png,gif
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="minPixSize"
1000
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="maxBytesSize"
1000
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="masterSize"
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="masterWidth"
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="masterHeight"
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="imageFile1"; filename="01.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g--
How would I repeat such a request with python requests lib?
The problem is the last part:
------WebKitFormBoundary053SrPeDVvrnxY3g
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="imageFile1"; filename="01.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
All the other fields can just be added as fields in dict passed to data
parameter.
So far I tried this:
requests.post(
url="http://myserver.com/upload",
headers={
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
},
data={
"uploadId": "0:0:48deedc5937d0:1009c3",
"mtype": "1000",
"extensions": "png,gif",
"minPixSize": "1000",
"maxBytesSize": "1000",
"masterSize": "",
"masterWidth": "",
"masterHeight": ""
},
files={'media': open("01.jpg", 'rb')}
)
Server responded with:
Could not parse multipart servlet request; nested exception is org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found; id: null
